Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? The pooled estimate showed a statistically significant improvement in mHHS for late cases (MD 2.78; 95% CI 0.16 to 5.41). → Ramadanov N 2026
q3 i? The pooled estimate showed a statistically significant improvement in NAHS favouring late cases (MD 8.41; 95% CI 1.99 to 14.83). → Ramadanov N 2026 (2)
Evidence¶
Ramadanov N 2026¶
Ramadanov N, Heinz M, Hable R, Becker R, Banke IJ. (2026). Surgeon experience in hip arthroscopy improves operative efficiency and reduces conversion to total hip arthroplasty: A meta‐analysis. Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy. https://doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70431
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Random-effects meta-analysis of six studies reporting modified Harris Hip Score, comparing late versus early experience phases. The estimate showed "a statistically significant improvement in mHHS for late cases", with no relevant heterogeneity (I² = 0%).
"The pooled random‐effects estimate showed a statistically significant improvement in mHHS for late cases (MD 2.78; 95% CI 0.16 to 5.41)."
Ramadanov N 2026 (2)¶
Ramadanov N, Heinz M, Hable R, Becker R, Banke IJ. (2026). Surgeon experience in hip arthroscopy improves operative efficiency and reduces conversion to total hip arthroplasty: A meta‐analysis. Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy. https://doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70431
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Random-effects meta-analysis of four studies reporting Non-Arthritic Hip Score; all included studies demonstrated higher postoperative scores in late cases. The estimate favoured "late cases (MD 8.41; 95% CI 1.99 to 14.83)", with moderate heterogeneity (I² = 47%).
"The pooled random‐effects estimate demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in NAHS favouring late cases (MD 8.41; 95% CI 1.99 to 14.83)."
